Just recently my daughter Allison starting working with us full time. She is helping us update and put a new fresh look on everything. Allison has also become very good at designing crochet patterns! She is currently working on baby and toddler jumpers. When this Pineapple Dishcloth needed a border, Allison designed the one you see in the picture.
Follow me onto dishcloth #78 and the rest of the story…

Maggie ~~ I, too, miss not getting the pics and notification that the next piece of enjoyment has been posted in my e-mail. But, like marceme, I come to this site and BEHOLD ~~ there is the new discloth!!!
Thanks so much for all the lovely patterns. They are, each and everyone of them, being thoroughly enjoyed!!
Am I the only one missing the chart for this pattern?
I just love this dishcloth challenge! I’ve made several – even made a pillow out of the school house one with fleece for backing. Making these is definitely brushing up my crochet skills – not sure I can design one though. I have a large project that requires following a chart which I had never done. These gave me the practice I needed on a small scale; now I think I can do the larger project without making a mess of it!
Thanks to everyone making these great designs!
This one is gorgeous! Definitely requires a bit of concentration but I LOVE the final result 🙂
thank you so much.
